Tip Of The Week: How to Protect Your Child Against Kidnappers
Today The Corp wants to talk about an extremely serious issue. It’s an issue that most parents don’t want to talk about because, well, frankly, it’s a nightmare. So, quite often we go forward thinking it won’t happen to our child when, in fact, it could. Today, we’re going to talk about child kidnapping.
So just how real is this silent epidemic. Well, here are some startling stats taken from the Kids Fighting Chance Website…
- Every 40 seconds in the United States, a child is reported missing or abducted. That translates to over 2,000 children per day (under 18 years of age) or 800,000 per year.
- Of child victims of “stereotypical kidnappings, “40 percent are killed, 4 percent are never found, 71 percent are by a stranger and 29 percent are by a slight acquaintance.” In 1999 there were over 115 “stereotypical kidnappings” of children in the United States (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)
- Most abductions occur within a quarter of a mile from the victim’s home (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)
- In 46 percent of non-family abductions, the child was sexually assaulted. In 31 percent of the cases the child was physically assaulted. In 40 percent of the cases, the perpetrator used a weapon (Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children, October 2002)
- Of abducted children who are ultimately murdered, 74 percent are dead within three hours of the abduction (State of Washington’s Office of the Attorney General; National Center of Missing and Exploited Children)
Each year, thousands upon thousands of kidnappings occur, yet, we continue to tell ourselves “It won’t happen to my child..”
Well, we here at the corp want to make sure that the next victim is not your child. So, here are some tips that you can use to help your child prevent a child abuse situation from ever occurring.
- Educate Your children about child abuse from an early age: One of the biggest mistakes parents make is not effectively educating their children about the issues concerning kidnapping or abduction. Start from an early age and continue to teach your child about strangers.
- Create a secret password: This is an incredibly important and simple one. You should always have a password that only you and your child know. This is a password the child should ask for if they ever have to answer the door when you are not there, or if someone has to come and pick them up.
- Always try to accompany your child to the houses of family member and especially friends: In the days of myspace and facebook it become increasingly easier for child predators to catch their pray… YOUR CHILD.
So make it your priority to accompany your child to any family member or friends house, especially if it is a new friend, whom you have not met. Always get a working number, and have your child call you halfway through the visit to let you know everything is alright.
- Use Technology: In our current technological age, there are a wide variety of tracking devices we can use to allow law enforcement to quickly locate our child. Remember, if a child is lost, we have less than 3 hours to locate our child before possible death, and with a GPS system, that location is definitely a reality.
